Im sure a thread like this exists but I havent seen one in a long time so..

you have flashlights taped to your fender because theyre brighter than your high beams

you have an extra CPS in your glove box

you have a 55 gallon drum of PB blaster in the garage and if it wasnt so expensive you would wash your jeep with it every day

you know the wife and kids favorite window position and automatically lower the windows to it before they ask

people wonder why your radio has a "front/rear fader" when you only seem to have rear speakers

you watch the temp gauge on your 00-01 closer than any other gauge

youre keyless entry fob locks/unlocks every door except the ones you need.. drivers and hatch

your roof rack cross bars are in the back cargo area rather than on the roof for the extra .5 mpg

Paid $2500 for mine unmolested and I dont even wanna know what Ive got invested at this point, and Im nowhere remotely close to done, ehhh but who is? :laugh:

Probably still less money than an similarly equipped stock TJ though. :D

YKYDAXJ when....your IAT is higher than your engine coolant temp! And when the CEL stays on because you're tired of replacing the rear o2 sensor from bashing it on rocks too many times (this is the 3rd time and I am not changing it lol)

I've been 85 with my 2.5L Cherokee lol, sounded like it was going to explode. That includes the entire drive train...the entire thing

I've had mine at 85 a few times..I was trying to keep from getting run over on I-95 on my last trip down to Florida; the cranky teenager did ok but me? Not so much..definitely made me pray to the Jeep Gods.."Please just keep her in one piece long enough to get back to Virginia Beach":p

I think the XJ is upset with me..I'm not taking her down to Jacksonville next week and she's been misbehaving. Nothing too crazy..one day her power locks work, the next they don't and she's running a slight temp (almost 220). I'm not taking her on the roadtrip because her mileage is almost 200K and I just don't want to add that kind of miles to the heart of my cranky teenager. Great..another teenager with an attitude problem:rolleyes:

Had my '94 up to almost 80 a couple of times for extended periods on I-75, and have also had it up to about 70 a few times responding to calls (volly firefighter/medic). Never had any problems, until it was time to slow back down in a hurry..... :-O Rear disks and MC from a ZJ have solved that problem, though! :-D

YKYDAXJ with no doors when you get hit in the face with a spider web getting into it to drive to work.

When you seriously have to talk yourself out of 37s. Repeatedly. When wrangler owners are asking what brand your centercaps are.... They are warn lock outs dammit!
Please tell me this isn't real life...
